My family had an amazing time at the Sweet Retreat. Conveniently located to all the outdoor activities we were looking for. And when we just wanted to unwind and relax, the amenities were perfect. Thank you so much and we look forward to staying with you again.

Great house for families.

Great family experience. Plenty of room in a quiet mountain setting. Kids enjoyed fishing in lake and really enjoyed our nightly fire in outdoor fireplace making semores. Best of all was making family memories.

Three Day Mountain Trip

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It was clean, had a well equipped in the kitchen (used the Instapot for Beef Stew!) and there is an outdoor fireplace with TV that we enjoyed for two nights. We had an issue with the basement fireplace and they sent a lovely young man out to fix it for us the next day. I highly recommend this property.

Sweet Retreat

We have stayed in the Sweetgrass Community before and it is a wonderful location! The house was clean, lovely finishes. We would’ve liked better appliances, the refrigerator was very cheap feeling, no ice dispenser, broken lamp and the coffee maker was broken upon our arrival and a lack of mirror space. Would not stay at this house again, but the impeccable service of Blue Ridge Rentals is always worth returning!

Great trip

We had a great time at The Sweet Retreat!! Three families stayed in the house comfortably. Cons: The kitchen table only seats 4 even though the house sleeps 12. Only 1 towel is provided per guest even if you are staying for four nights. The exterior trash cans were completely full when we arrived. Only 1 bathroom on the main floor. The basement couch and some pillows are feather (we had people in our group with down allergies). Pros (these outweigh the cons!) Beautiful view The house is right next to a trail head to go explore the community The community is beautiful. We love sweetgrass although the last house we stayed in provided paddles so we could use the canoes. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas which made the trip even more special. The internet was out the first night when we arrived and maintenance helped immediately. Everyone was incredibly comfortable in their rooms. The fireplaces were amazing. We were even able to have firewood delivered to the house prior to our arrival which made it so easy! We had a wonderful trip! We would absolutely stay here again!!!

one problem

First let me say that overall the stay was great. The property is beautiful and the location is perfect. That said, the only drawback Was that the living room couch had a lot of crumbs and pet hair under the cushions. This was a particular problem for us because my four-year-old grandson is allergic to dogs and developed some hives. Fortunately nothing serious but you might pass this on to your cleaners
